Battle Creek, Michigan Settles Dispute with ORBZ

Peter Sachs, Esq. writes: "According to a press release that now appears on its official website, the City of Battle Creek, Michigan has 'settled"' its dispute with ORBZ.ORG. The City concluded that ORBZ.ORG had no criminal intent to cause the City harm by testing the 'open relay' status its server. In fact, the Assistant to the City Manager said, '...we recognize that [ORBZ.ORG] has done us a service. We are going to be taking a close look at our policies regarding Lotus security updates and how we can avoid the issue in general'"

No, next the SSSCA is quietly withdrawn from Congress when its revealed that Senator Hollings was just an animatronic robot planted by Disney Corp.

Competent IT professionals cost a lot of money ... unless you import them from India.

It's a crime [quaker.org], not a war. If you want a reply, log in.

Russ,

Regarding your signature, perhaps you misunderstand the way the english language is used. You see, it unquestionably IS a war. You seem to be confusing who started the war versus whether or not to call it a war. Hint: If a US force overthrows the government in Afghanistan in open combat, you're dealing with a war!

Maybe you want to ask who started the war? The WAR itself was started by the US, I believe. We're sick and tired of crap ass governments who refuse to control their own territory. It is easier for the public to understand if you just say you're having a war on terrorism. It also allows the president to slosh the war around freely. Who cares? Not me! Governments should punish those who cause violence to others, or at least do something to help prevent it. If a foreign government fails to do this, and thousands of people are dying in America, then it is time to do something.

I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt on all this ORBZ stuff, but you've sabotaged your credibility with me by posting your uninformed rant on quaker.org.
